Turku INT

Lumi (Candida's October Opal) was shown in Turku international show January 22nd under judge Peter Harsanyi from Hungary. She was placed best female, and got her 2nd CACIB from Finland. Now she is only missing one time-CACIB from her C.I.B.-title! We finally lost best of breed to Russian Kenshin-Ko-Go Royal Nippon Akitos, because, as the judge put it, Lumi likes to eat and was not in the greatest show condition at the time.

BOB Kenshin-Ko-Go Royal Nippon Akitos and BOS Candida's October Opal

Here's what Mr. Harsanyi had to say about Lumi:
Typical bitch with good size and bones. A little bit heavy. Nice feminine head. Good expression. Correct topline. Good forequarters and angulations. Correct presentation and character.

Meri (Afterglow Hail Mary) was shown the next day under judge Dorothea Hanlon-Carrol from Ireland. She was placed 3rd in the intermediate class.

She was also shown in Parkano group show February 6th, where she was placed best female 4th under judge Tarja Hovila from Finland.
